The only purifying fan to clean a whole room properly*. We design our purifying fans to go beyond test chamber conditions and focus on real home conditions – this is more than just having an efficient filter.*Dyson engineers and research concluded that to clean an entire room properly, you need to sense pollution events automatically; capture ultrafine pollutants; and project cleaner air around the room using Air Multiplier technology. Only the Dyson purifying fan is designed and tested to do all of this.**Dyson technology helps create a cleaner, healthier home - Our vacuums and purifiers are scientifically proven to capture particles as small as allergens and bacteria.

The Dyson DP04 is really a fantastic fan! Of course Nobody beats a Dyson!!
Straight out of the box it was extremely simple to set up. The filter system consists of 4 pieces.
-2 Carbon filter elements & 2 Hepa elements. Each set is 2 pieces (1/2 of a full circle) that simply snap together around the base. First the carbon set and then the Hepa's and that is it! There is no wrong way to do this since there is no "this side up" directional assembly. They can be turned either way.
A Smart App is available (iOS and Android Platforms) and is quite handy. Not only for controlling all of the functions of the fan (from anywhere) but also to be able to easily view all of the "Monitoring Functions" (Information Menu) which includes:
-Indoor Air Quality
-Particulate Matter (up to 2.5 microns in size) that include Smoke, Bacteria & Allergens
-Particulate Matter (up to 10.5 microns) that include Dust, Mold Spores & Pollen
-Nitrogen Dioxide - Such as Burning Gas Fumes, and also Vehicle Emmisions too!
-Detects VOC's as well, such as paint & chemical fumes
**The filter system cleans and removes all of these Odors, Allergens and Hazards, giving you a much cleaner and safer air quality for your home.
The Information Menu also includes:
-Ambient Temperature
-Indoor Humidity Levels and also displays the current status of your Wi-Fi connection and also the filter use/life.
The fan itself also has a small display which will show you all of the details as well but it is small so using your smart phone app will be much easier to view.
The fan has an "Auto Mode" that when selected, will automatically adjust the operation of the unit to correspond with the air quality. Such as cutting off when the air quality is good and kicking back on when the quality has "dropped" and needs to be "cleaned". The fan speeds will also adjust according to the need to purify the air again. This is customizable in the App. Pretty Smart if you ask me!
This cool fan will also oscillate from zero up to a full 350 degrees.
The increments (in degrees of rotation) are zero, 45, 90, 180 and 350
It also will tilt forward or backwards for your desired air flow direction.
*You can set up the fan to run "Backwards", by this I mean you can set it to have the airflow to blow out the reverse if you don't want it blowing your direction. In either normal frontal or backwards operation, the fan always will be filtering and purifying the air no matter what.
It has a Night Mode as well which runs more quietly and dims the display. Also customizable in the App.
Now I've said a heck of a lot of info that puts this awesome machine in the "Limelight" BUT......
I have 1 gripe about it and that is the power cord!
The receptacle plug is HUGE! It is about 1 3/4" x 2 3/4" x 4 1/2" so be prepared that it will take up a bit of space at your outlet!
ALSO the other end of the power cord plugs into the FRONT of the machine and will stick out over 1 1/2 inches (without kinking the cord)
*IMO This is a very poor design and I know for a fact that common sense would say that it should plug in at the back of the machine AND be a 90 degree plug which would eliminate the issue very easily. Maybe on the next model?? It's such a beautiful machine, but by having the plug in the front, it really distracts from the sleek modern beautiful look. At least to me it does.

With my "negativity" on the power cord/plug out of the way, I still love the machine and would certainly recommend it to all.
***OH, I forgot to mention that it also comes with a remote (the battery/batteries are already installed so I can't say what type they may be. The remote also stores on top of the machine via an internal magnet for the convenience of not losing or misplacing it.

Sleek, Stylish, Modern, Responsive & Fluid
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
My 1st words out is that this XZ2 is such a beautiful, modern and very manageable smartphone that is very responsive.
It's surfaces, in their entirety are so glass smooth that your fingers will feel as if they are gliding on fluid! It certainly has an awesome feel to it for sure. This is also without leaving any noticeable fingerprints.
It is very comfortable and very responsive.
* I would definitely recommend a protective case as soon as you buy this phone so it won't slip out of your hands.
Be careful without a case!! It could start sliding!
Myself, I will be definitely getting an authentic Sony case that is specifically made for this phone because I value it that much! (Don't buy a 3rd party case)
It comes with 4GB RAM with 64GB of storage but is expandable up to 400GB with a micro SD card. Plenty of storage. (micro SD not included)
The sounds that it puts out can get quite loud and are also customizable in the audio settings that include:
-Sound Enhancement (sound effects)
-Optimization with clear audio and DSEE HX for wired headphones
-Also a dynamic "normalizer" to minimize volume differences between songs or vids!
-Also supports LDAC & Hi-Res Audio
The fingerprint scanner, IMO should be just a little above the center of the rear of the phone for a more comfortable single-hand access, BUT may just be because of my large hands and perfect for those of you with smaller hands....Either way, it is definitely NOT a deal breaker by any means.
The power button is also situated on the edge in the middle and I feel that for me, it would be more comfortable for it to be just a tad higher up.
The cameras both take super pics and will record in 4k HDR. Everything I have recorded thus far shows most excellent on the beautiful screen.
There is also a 3-D Creator app which is fun for sure! If you use it very smoothly, it produces very excellent results. I'm not sure how often I may use this feature but I actually can think of many, many ways that this will become very useful to me.

I highly will wholeheartedly recommend this to all of my friends & You

SMALL PACKAGE - AWESOME SOUND!
on March 26, 2018
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
SONY has designed a truly remarkable wireless/bluetooth speaker!
The small package weighs less than 3.5 lbs. and is engineered in a way that really pumps out the sound and is easy to tote anywhere.
There are a couple of Apps available (Fiestable & Music Center) in which you can wirelessly control not only the sound settings but also how the different lights work. NOTE: You can also use the speaker without using any lights.
The speaker is stated to run up to 24 hours on a single charge (without the lights) and for me, this is way more than enough. I also believe it will never run out of charge for most people, even the "Party Animals"
The Speaker & perimeter border lights will also sync to your music and can be adjusted to your liking in the App., It also has flashing strobe lights.
With the Apps, you can also control setting up your playlist and jumping to cue up different songs in the list as well as changing the sound modes.
SONY also incorporated what they call "Party Chain" in which you can wirelessly connect up to 100 of these speakers together & the music and lights will all sync up together for a huge party atmosphere! This is an awesome feature in itself as a lot of other BT/Wireless speakers don't have this capability at all.
This is a very well designed unit that Sony has obviously come up with. Not only because of the options you'll have available through the Apps, but most importantly the fantastic sound this small package pumps out!
Sound options include: Standard, Live & Extra Bass (XB)
The XB puts a little more "Depth" into your music without over powering the mids & highs, which to me is extremely important with my music!
I will say that the sound produced still sounds great in all settings but I did notice that depending on room placement parameters and different genres of music, different settings sound better than the others for each situation....But is easily accomplished with a touch of the button or a Tap on the App!
I like this speaker enough that I believe I will at least purchase 1 more of these for a more "Party Chained" Stereo surround sound.
*Gotta have my Tunes!

MOVIE THEATER & NO CROWDS!
on March 16, 2018
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
First off I have to say that this Epson 2100 3LCD Projector is awesome!
It was seriously simple to set-up.
In the past I've used a DLP version and I thought it was great.......Until I hooked up and watched an action movie using this 3LCD Epson and all I can say is WOW! No more DLP for me.
It has very crisp & clear vivid colors at all times, even when the movie scenes are darker. Very clear on the 92" screen I am currently using for it.
I believe I will be purchasing me a remote controlled ceiling mount screen soon and relocating my flat panel TV to another room so that not only will I be gaining a heck of a lot of real estate in my living room but I will be turning it into a true home theater that will have all of the extra space! What an extra "Bonus" this projector will be giving me for sure.
You can hook this versatile projector up to either a Mac or Windows computer.
The lamp also boasts that it has a really good life expectancy of approx. 4-4.5k hrs at full power and 7.5k hours in ECO mode. The lamp, In my opinion, will last the average user well over 2 yrs.
The cooling fan is very quiet. Of course it does get a little more noisy in full power mode But I did not notice it at all during any of my viewing time.
It has a really good amount of "Lens Shift" but on my set-up, I didn't have to tweak it hardly at all. All of the adjustments are super quick and easy to do.
The projector also has a built-in 10W speaker which actually sounds pretty decent.......But I've hooked up a great home theater surround system which is a must for me especially during movies and music vids!
This is a fantastic projector and I'm very pleased with it's ease of set-up and use, it's great colors and contrast and I feel like my home now has a genuine home theater!

Decent Set For The Price
on March 12, 2018
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
First off, the set was easy to unpack with the clip release system. Simply remove the 4 clips and slide the entire box off.
Set-up was easy, and was quick on connecting to my Wi-Fi home system. I also plugged in a desktop computer to one of the 3 HDMI ports available (I used the 4K 60Hz) It fit the whole TV screen perfectly without any setting adjustments.
The Blacks and Contrast looks pretty darn good considering the low price for this set. I watched some videos with a lot of motion (Football, Nascar) and it looked very clear with great blacks that made the colors "pop", but the quick motion, at times didn't seem to me,to be as smooth as you would naturally see.
The sound can get really loud BUT I just plugged in my home theater surround system into the HDMI ARC jack and it works really good but I have to note that my surround system did play somewhat better on my LG TV.
There is also a 5-bar equalizer available in the settings/sound so you can tune the sounds to your preferences. I do like that it is available!
I do like this 4K TV but I have to say I have already had a couple of issues as follows:
-There is a distinct odor to it, like a cross between a "New Smell" and like the electronics may run a little hot. This does worry me some, but hopefully it will dissipate after more hours of use.
-I went into the settings (picture & sound) to tweak it to my liking (and to explore) and then went onto the Youtube app, checked out a couple of videos with no problem. I watched a couple of 4K and even 8K videos on Youtube and they looked fantastic I have to say.........But then when trying to switch back to TV, the remote would not work. Even when I tried to turn it off...So I had to unplug it from the wall, wait a minute and power back up and then it was fine. I did not like that this happened with a new TV and maybe it was just a "hang-up" of sorts but hopefully it won't keep doing this!
Overall the TV is pretty good, good volume, really good picture, easy Wi-Fi set up and I have only had the issues listed above.
I would say that if you are looking for a Large 4K flat screen and don't want to break the bank, this TV may be a great choice for you.
I, myself however, will probably spend a few hundred more on my next set.....but that is just me

Large touch responsive screen
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
The first note is to say that set-up is super simple. It only has 1 plug, the A/C cord to power it up. Pretty standard for an "All-In-One" set-up.
The webcam has a privacy switch so you can close the aperture for privacy (instead of a bandaid-lol).
There is an HDMI input and an output as well which is a must for me so I have it hooked up to my huge flat screen TV for when the need arises.
Another must for me is that it does have a built-in DVD/CD Burner-Player. You will have to be careful and use finesse when loading/unloading or closing the player as it is very fragile and feels a little flimsy. But really is not much different than my USB style player, which is also fragile and flimsy.
The speaker system in this system is very decent and is a Bang & Olufson tuned system, so it does sound really great But if you really want to crank it up for lets say an Action movie or some really loud tunes, then you can simply pair-up your favorite "kick butt" BlueTooth speaker system.
The touch screen is very responsive and works well so far and after opening multiple windows, I was able to tackle some work on my photos while jamming to some music in another window without any lag time or any slow response. I also had another 3 tabs active at the same time as well.
The only downfall for me is it is that since it is a windows OS, it seems to always have the need for updates in which some of these can take considerable time!
Bottom line for me is that this Hp All-In-One is really a great computer and has a lot of speed and memory which IS upgradable to some degree as well.
I like it very much and would recommend it to everyone looking for an "All-In-One"

I hooked this up to an LG 43" smart HDTV.
I live in an area that does not get a ton of OTA channels but with a $50 converter box (and powered rabbit ears) hooked up to this TV I was only receiving about 6-7 channels, and some of them pixelated badly as I moved around my living room and kitchen.
After hooking up this MOHU on the wall directly behind the TV, I initially received 13 channels with only 5 of them "pixelating" so I moved the antenna closer to the ceiling and received 18 channels and a few still pixelated BUT I still had more channels!
*NOTE: If you do move the location of the antenna, you will have to run your TV's channel auto-program again, but since it only takes a few minutes it's really no big deal compared to receiving more channels IMO.
The antenna does come with 2 10' lengths of cable and a barrel adapter in case you need to use all 20'. The cable is white in color. The flat and very thin antenna is white on 1 side and black on the other so you have a choice of which side to show BUT>>> You can also decorate it or paint it how you like to match your decor. (Just don't use metal)
The antenna does have an included amplifier that needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet as well.
I may move mine again to a window location and see if I might receive more channels or more channels with no pixelation, but overall, I will say that the channels I do receive have been HD crystal clear even when we were having a heavy rainstorm so I am satisfied.
I live in an area that does not get a ton of OTA channels but with a $50 converter box (and powered rabbit ears) hooked up to this TV I was only receiving about 6-7 channels, and some of them pixelated badly as I moved around my living room and kitchen.
After hooking up this MOHU on the wall directly behind the TV, I initially received 13 channels with only 5 of them "pixelating" so I moved the antenna closer to the ceiling and received 18 channels and a few still pixelated BUT I still had more channels!
*NOTE: If you do move the location of the antenna, you will have to run your TV's channel auto-program again, but since it only takes a few minutes it's really no big deal compared to receiving more channels IMO.
The antenna does come with 2 10' lengths of cable and a barrel adapter in case you need to use all 20'. The cable is white in color.

TOP RATE OVEN with 5 STARS

Out of the box and onto the countertop, this oven has appeal. It looks fantastic and modern.
Since it is a convection oven it has a fan to circulate the heat. AND I will say that It runs very quietly which is a plus.
It has a very easy to read display as well and has 8 preset programs for ease of cooking certain items BUT you can also simply set your own temp and time.
It includes 1 rack that you can adjust to 4 different positions. You can also purchase another rack separately in order to cook more items at the same time.
It also comes with a decent pizza pan and a bake pan
It has a 2 hour timer (120 minute) with auto shut-off and you can also adjust the temp setting during cooking at any time
This oven is very well insulated for sure! It has a double-glass door and pre-heats up very quickly to any temp. It has an internal light and even though it has the dbl glass door, you can see your food very easily.
It also cooks up your food a bit quicker than your regular oven so be prepared to adjust your cooking times. Also be ready to save a little on your electric bill (compared to a regular electric oven, such as I have)
It has a fairly large capacity and was large enough for me to cook a medium sized "Take-n-Bake" pizza I bought at the pizza joint.
It cooks with truly even heat as far as I have experienced so far. NO cold spots or overdone spots! Just perfect
The exterior also remained fairly cool even at a high temp setting which makes me no longer have worries of ruining my formica countertop.
The oven is also pretty easy to clean inside and out, just wipe it down was all I needed and good as new.
To aid in the ease of cleaning, it does have a removable crumb tray. How simple.

This Mega Powered Blender is More Than Just Any Ordinary Blender!

There Are Also 4 Preprogrammed Cycles Which Are:
-Smoothie (and it works perfect everytime I will attest)
-60 Seconds
-90 Seconds and
-CLEAN - Boy What A Time Saver Clean Is!! Just Add A Little Dishwashing Detergent, Hit CLEAN, Wait Until Done Then Rinse and You're Good To Go. Very Simple & Time Saving.
*Machine Is Also Dishwasher Safe As Well

Another Super Benefit of This Blendtec 575 is That You Get AN 8 YEAR WARRANTY!
To Me, That Tells Me That Not Only The Company Stands Behind The Machine But Also That I Know I Will Be Using This For Years To Come!
It Already Has Paid For Itself To Me So, I Will Be Happy To See It Still On My Kitchen Counter For Years To Come.

ALEXA VOICE IS A PLUS
on November 18, 2017
Posted by: Mikegyver
from Bossier City, La
This UE Blast speaker is Wireless/Bluetooth.
It has 360 degree sound output comparable to other more expensive competitors But also Includes Alexa Voice in which you can not only control the speaker itself, but also incorporate/control some of your other smart home devices as well.
It is Also Waterproof. So bring it to the pool or take it on the boat or camping at the rivers edge.
It states it will last up to 12 hours on a single charge and I do believe that since I ran it 5 hours straight without it wavering a bit.
It also sounds great to me but the sound will change (just like any other speaker) depending on size of room, furnishings etc....But still sounded great in any room I carried it to.
I really think this speaker, like I said is comparable to other more expensive units and it is worth a look for sure

Clean every corner of your home with this Hoover Fusion Pet cordless vacuum. The One Pwr lithium battery delivers fade-free power for larger jobs, and fast charging speeds eliminate wait times between cleaning sessions. This Hoover Fusion Pet cordless vacuum includes several attachments for cleaning upholstery, crevices and other hard-to-reach areas.
Mine recently stopped working and I just bought it a minth ago. I’m not sure why. Help!
It may be possible that it has a clog somewhere. Check and clean the rollers and the tube because the vacuum does have a feature to cut off in the event of a clog so that way it will not burn up the motor, Which is a great feature if you ask me.
I do hope this helps and it solves your issue. Thanks

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
The shooting ranges for pistols and long guns, has tremendous loud noises and concussion type noises. I have an early pair of the Sony noise cancelling over the ear headphones and they are useless. My question is if the new Sony WH1000xm2.. would work?
I honestly cannot say for sure about the gun noise if you are the one shooting as I don't have that experience yet BUT Can say that they pretty much cancelled out the noise of the "Directly Overhead" Low Flying B-52 Bombers that fly over my house every day. I live across the street from the base...At the same time, I was cranking up my music at a good volume with these headphones during that experience. I hope that may help some.

What are the differences from these headphones to the original 1000x other than battery life?
You Should Get About 30 Hours of Play Time Wireless and About 40 When Wired. Hope This Helps

Leave no dirt behind with this Shark APEX vacuum. Its DuoClean operation uses a soft brush roll and powerful suction to pick up large debris and stuck-in dust, and its Powered Lift-Away technology provides extended reach underneath furniture. This Shark APEX vacuum prevents captured irritant particles from escaping thanks to its Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology.BR>
How much does it weigh?
BB's website shows that the AX951 weighs 16.1 pounds. I hope this helps

Enjoy your music while training with these Under Armour wireless headphones. These audio devices are sweat proof and have TwistLock technology to keep the earpieces in place through any workout. Designed by JBL, these Under Armour wireless headphones meet the highest audio standards and provide up to 8 hours of battery life to last many workouts.
What's the diference between this and the 149 dollars ones?
In my opinion, When the JBL's are properly fitted to your ear (ie: correct tip size) You will experience awesome sound. The fitment in the ear really makes a world of difference (and should save you money from buying a more expensive headset)

Wake up to a delicious cup of java with this Ninja Coffee Bar glass carafe system. The 10-cup pitcher holds 50 oz. of coffee when entertaining or brews a single cup at a time, prepared at the infusion level of your choice. This Ninja Coffee Bar glass carafe system has a built-in frother for hot and cold drink creations.
What's the difference between this system and the other system (coffee bar brewer, with choice of glass or thermal carafe). Just trying to figure out which to purchase.
From my understanding, the unit with the Thermal Carafe does not have a warming plate on the machine since Ninja states that the insulated thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for 2 hours so it's not needed
